Con Edison System Is Prepared for GMD

Grid monitoring of geomagnetic disturbances focuses on bulk power transformers and improves resilience.


Consolidated Edison has made significant progress in assessing the vulnerability of its transmission system to the effects of geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs). ... The success of the GMD project was made possible by the contributions of many individuals. ... Vince Panuccio is an engineer in the relay protection and metering section at Con Edison.
